The Value of Missouri Southern 



Global

Our international mission strives to broaden your horizons. Whether it’s our study abroad partnerships with universities around the globe or our award-winning themed semesters, Missouri Southern brings the world to you.

Discover International Studies


Personal

You’re more than just an ID number on an attendance sheet. With our low student-to-faculty ratio and small class sizes, you’re a valued member of our Lion community. Develop relationships with faculty and peers that can set you on the path to academic success.

Explore Student Life


Immersive

What do Crime Scene Investigation, EMS training, a mock courtroom, 3D printers, and bee hives on a native prairie have in common? All are hands-on learning environments and experiences at Missouri Southern. Learn by doing, and gain practical knowledge that can prove invaluable in the workforce.
